I love you so much
That I let it destroy me
I left alone to search for oceans
Where I could maybe find some depth
I love you more
I loved you before
When the primordial soup was all there was
Monomers when we were together
Carbon and protein
And all of these things
That make our lives
And all of our dreams
I love you so much
That one and one
Is all the same
And we became
Each other
And the only love I feel
Is the love you give to me
I love you so much
I'll love you again
When our seeds and bones are dust
And we are only the memory in the wind
Once every part of who we are
In the farthest parts of space
Burns brightly as a star
We shine as one
Like we have
Since before time

We share the same goals
And the same
Hopes
Our skin
Only conceals
What our blood reveals

We are a nation in crisis

But hopefully
The crisis doesn't tear us apart
As most would expect
But rather
It brings us together

One love
One heart
Let's get together and feel alright

Yes
We're on the brink
The brink of finding peace
We can make a change forward
For the best

One love

Art cannot exist
Within such selfishness
Beauty dies alone
Unnoticed

To be a philosopher
Is to walk down a dark road
As are the guiding principles of life
Hatred
Greed
Selfishness
Intolerance
A fear of what cannot be understood
When no one understands love

We are a people on the brink
Staring squarely with every pair of eyes
At the end
That we don't know
That we create

Every pair of eyes
Blind to the symbols
These turtles, fish and golden robes
Muddied by the river
Blind to the symbols
Every pair of eyes
Watching our own demise

The bear rises from they east

I know just what it means

To be a philosopher
Is a soul killing experiment
And a lesson of the crooked ways even the innocent live

Plato tried to teach the youth
The truth
And was murdered
Today
The radio
Is evil


To be a philosopher
Is a life ending experience
And the only way to ever save a soul
I'm sure most can never understand this message, and THAT is the problem

I am all the rage
Lashing out at walls
Striking steering wheels
Pounding on the pavement as venomous blood
Its all the love in my heart
Until the world can hear me
I am all the rage
Oceans swelling
Ships sinking
Sailors drowning in a way of names forgotten
Its all the truth I can't hold
Because my strength is on the wane
I am all the rage
Of a man
Whose life
Hasn't gone exactly to plan
And whose dreams
Now can only cause him pain

Its all the rage
And everyone alive
Must feel the same

And from the start
       With a smile
You played the part
       Of a rifle
Aiming for my heart
How many bullets I don't understand
And in the end
       With a silence
A dagger sent
         To violence
Aiming for my skin
How many times again must I bleed

Before I believe
Nothings gonna change my world
Nothings all it ever was

A rifle in incapable hands
And a grave with no tombstone
For the innocent
Torin Jul 2016
I don't know where I am
I have a name that isn't mine
And reaching hands

Hold me now through darkness
Hold me now
I'll carry on

I sit up
Looking to give up
If I'm a little unsteady
It's only because I'm ready

I don't know where I am
But I know that where I'm going
You'll be there too

I have a face that fades with time
And your eyes
Guide me to the light

I lay down
As I try now
If I'm a little uneasy
Its only because I'm unsure how it happens next
